We theoretically investigate the stability and dynamics of self-channelled beams that form via nonlocal optomechanical interactions in dual-nanoweb microstructured fibers. These "optomechanicons" represent a novel class of spatial soliton.
The concept of soliton, in its most general version, allows us to find canonical or distinguished elements on any set provided with an equivalence relation and an `optimal' tangent direction at each point. We study in this paper solitons on…
